Chapter 51: Job Change

As soon as Yue Zhong left the bar, he walked along the street and arrived at the towering and majestic Job Change Building.

"Welcome! I am the receptionist, Xiao Mei! You have reached the level 10 standard for your first job change. May I ask what profession you would like to change to?" As soon as Yue Zhong entered the Job Change Building, a very beautiful woman dressed in an OL uniform approached him with a professional smile.

Yue Zhong glanced at Xiao Mei and said indifferently, "List all the professions I can change to."

"Yes!" Xiao Mei smiled slightly, pointed into the air, and a flash of white light appeared. A holographic projection materialized before Yue Zhong's eyes.

In the holographic projection, various professions flashed by, dazzling Yue Zhong.

Doctor, Soldier, Assassin, Mechanic, Blacksmith, Lawyer, Translator, Warrior, Mage, Warlock, Summoner, Beast Tamer, Hunter—all kinds of professions from both the real world and fantasy worlds were listed, covering a wide range of options.

Yue Zhong tapped on the Doctor profession, and the holographic projection changed, quickly displaying the introduction to the Doctor profession.

"Doctor Introduction: Doctors are an indispensable part of any team. Priests can quickly heal injuries through magic. Doctors use traditional treatment methods, and their recovery speed is not as fast as that of priests. However, doctors can treat viral diseases with various medications and develop new drugs to achieve large-scale treatment of injuries and illnesses. After changing to the Doctor profession, you will gain a skill: Basic Medical Skills."

Yue Zhong then tapped on the Soldier profession, and the holographic projection immediately displayed the introduction to the Soldier profession.

"Soldier Introduction: Soldiers are one of the basic combat professions. While they are not as strong as warriors in close combat, they are proficient in the use of firearms and are not weak in melee combat. After successfully changing professions, you will gain the skill: Basic Firearms Proficiency."

Yue Zhong's eyes lit up. The Basic Firearms Proficiency skill was very useful to him. He had not received any special training, and his shooting skills were extremely poor. With this skill, his combat effectiveness would greatly improve.

Yue Zhong was in no hurry to choose a profession. Instead, he continued to browse through the characteristics of various professions.

Each profession, upon successful job change, would grant a professional skill, allowing Yue Zhong to become a part of that field. Yue Zhong skipped all the support professions and directly searched for combat professions.

Support professions also had many uses. For example, the Mechanic profession could repair vehicles, the Blacksmith profession could forge enchanted weapons, and the Doctor profession could treat diseases and develop new drugs. These professions were very useful for a team, but the skills they provided were difficult to compare with those of combat professions in terms of combat effectiveness.

Yue Zhong examined many combat professions but felt that none of them could match the skill provided by the Soldier profession. Firearms proficiency would allow him to wield the Stinger with greater destructive power. Moreover, compared to the Warrior, Warlock, and Mage professions from the fantasy world, the Soldier profession was more suited for survival in the real world.

The casting speed of mages was too slow, and they could be killed before they finished casting their spells. As for warriors, while their melee combat abilities were indeed superior to soldiers, a single rocket launcher could easily take them out.

"Huh? What's this?" As Yue Zhong flipped to the second page, he saw a profession glowing with a dark light. He tapped on it, and the profession hidden within the black light appeared.

"Hidden Profession: Dark Knight. A fierce knight who wields dark powers. After successfully changing professions, you will gain the skills: Fear Spell and Night Enhancement."

After glancing at the Dark Knight profession introduction, Yue Zhong made an immediate decision. "I choose to change to the Dark Knight profession."

As soon as Yue Zhong made his choice, a black light surrounded him from the magic circle beneath his feet. He disappeared from his current location and reappeared in a mystical temple filled with a magical atmosphere.

Streams of dark power surged from the magic circle on the ground and entered Yue Zhong's body, forming two mysterious runes in his consciousness.

"Level 2 Skill: Fear Spell. Active Skill. Activating this spell can instill fear in creatures with a精神力 (mental power) 5 points lower than yours, shaking their will to fight. The lower the target's mental power, the more susceptible they are to its effects. This skill can be used on a single target within 200 meters or on an area of 20 square meters, affecting all targets indiscriminately. Each activation consumes 3 points of mental power."

"Level 2 Skill: Night Enhancement. Passive Skill. After learning this skill, you will gain night vision and the ability to see farther than during the day. At night, your perception will be greatly enhanced, and your ability to sense danger will become more acute."

After the job change was complete, the dark power surrounding Yue Zhong dissipated.

Yue Zhong lowered his head and thought for a moment about how to apply his new skills, then strode toward the center of the temple.

In the center of the temple stood a Dark Knight clad in full-body armor engraved with mysterious runes. The armor was pitch black and emitted a strange metallic sheen. The Dark Knight stood like a标杆 (standard), exuding an overwhelming sense of压迫感 (oppression) just by standing there.

Yue Zhong walked up to the upright Dark Knight and said, "I am Yue Zhong, a newly changed Dark Knight. Sir, I wish to purchase and learn skills for this profession."

The Dark Knight coldly glanced at Yue Zhong, pointed into the air, and another holographic projection appeared, displaying various Dark Knight skills.

In the holographic projection, a total of nine skills appeared. Among them, three were level 1 skills, and six were level 2 skills.

Yue Zhong quietly browsed through the nine skills, thinking to himself, "So expensive!"

Each of the three level 1 skills cost 300 survival points, while each of the six level 2 skills cost 1,000 survival points.

As Yue Zhong browsed through the six level 2 skills, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes. "Summon Bone Beast, Beast Taming, Shadow Step... these are all great skills!"

Each of the six level 2 skills was extraordinary, and if Yue Zhong could obtain them, he would gain another ability.

When Yue Zhong saw the sixth level 2 skill, his eyes lit up, and he quickly tapped on it, spending 1,000 survival points.

The skill in the black projection transformed into streams of black light that entered Yue Zhong's consciousness, forming a black rune.

"Level 2 Skill: Fusion Protection. Allows you to merge with an undead creature you have summoned, using it as armor to protect yourself. Activating this skill consumes 10 points of mental power and 10 points of stamina. Duration: 15 minutes."
